Hailee Steinfeld Gushes about Taylor Swift

Hailee claims that Taylor is an “an amazing friend," on the cover of May Issue of Nylong featuring her dressed in a denim jacket and a leather skirt.

"I always get the ‘Tell us something nobody knows [about Taylor] question," the actress continues. "And it's like, we both respect each other tremendously, but we choose to keep our friendship out of the public eye. She's a really great person and an inspiration to me and many others."

Just this weekend, Hailee and Taylor were just spotted in New York for dinner. They apparently danced the night away at the InStyle/Warner Bros. afterparty.

Hailee says she is just a normal teenager.

"Yeah, absolutely," the Oscar-nominated these told Nylon. "It is about being honest. People live different lifestyles, and I always find an equivalency: If I'm filming or going to and audition it's [the same as] my friends going school or dance class. I think everyone lives the same way and encounters the same sort of life."

Hailee says she met Taylor via mutual friend Emma Stone and hit it off with each other.

"We do just really random stuff when we are together," Steinfeld has told us about her friendship with the singer. "We just love to kick back, listen to music, watch TV, bake, watch movies and all of that kind of stuff."
